All damage done inside the Park. We tried Ocean Cove but conditions were just too bad on sunday. Great trip overall, cant wait to get back out!

Caught 12 rockfish! 2 China’s and 5 blues were what we ended up taking. Made a great dinner for my wife for mother’s day. She’s such a trooper. We planned this trip before realizing it was Mother’s Day and she had the luck. Caught 9 of the 12. Think she’s hooked now!!! Edit: great conditions...

Thanks for the responses guys!! I will keep all of this in mind. We are staying at Gerstle Cove CG so we'll be in the middle of plenty of spots. Def plan on going with some swimbaits, still havent landed anything with one yet. I will take plenty of shrimp and squid per the recommendations. I...

Hello all, back for some more advice. I am curious what the rockfish typically bite in the spring? I will be headed to Salt Point with the wife May 10th and just hunting the coast around there. Plan on fishing right off the rocks at salt point, ocean cove, timber cove, and fort ross. I also plan...

Without those factors is it a good idea to use something like tides4fishing to plan trips? High coefficient is related to the moon phases and apparently those moon phases can affect activity level in fish. I did have a successful trip the first time I used it as a resource but not sure if that...

When fishing from shore I’ve heard that it is best to fish when water is calmer and clearer. However, on apps like tides4fishing it will say highest fishing activity is during times of high coefficient which means rougher usually murkier water. What conditions should I be looking for? Is...

We made it out and stayed the night. Started raining on us tuesday AM but pretty light luckily. I caught a keeper monday night when we arrived so we had that for dinner. Caught the one keeper that we ate, one keeper that was pretty ugly and beat up so I threw him back, one undersized male and...

Im going with Bodega due to ease of access and protection from the open ocean. Any advice is welcomed. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. I am willing to go farther as well, thinking about HMB or Bodega. Anyone ever have any luck crabbing from Francis beach area? Instead of going out on the jetty at HMB. What about campbell cove or the jetty at bodega? Any input is appreciated. Thanks

I was thinking about hitting china or baker beach. Possibly the pacifica pier. Where is my best luck for some keeper crabs right now? Are these good spots to try snaring from this time of year? Just want my boy to have some success so he can enjoy fishing too.

I am planning a trip down to HMB this saturday. Hoping to land a ling or some rock fish. I have been thinking about just going out onto the jetty but was hoping to get some help on a more promising spot if there is one. I was also considering bodega bay if that would possibly be a better option...
